This week in Room 301, students attended a baseball tournament and represent our school by showing good sportsmanship.  We learned two new web 2.0 tools to create poems and avatars to present who we are as people.  The members of the Be the Change Student Committee attended We Day with other students from across Ontario to learn about issues both locally and globally.  As a class we developed an Anchor Chart that will guide all our collaborative work both in class and online.
